After hearing Hiruzen's words and feeling the killing intent emanating towards him, Danzo knew that Hiruzen was serious and would definitely kill him if necessary. In front of Hiruzen, Danzo could only submit.

"And from today onwards, no ninja from ROOT will leave the ROOT base. If I find anyone leaving, I won't hesitate to disband ROOT. Remember, I am not arresting your ROOT members just because I don't want Mito-sama to become suspicious of your involvement," said Hiruzen.

"But, Hiruzen, if my ROOT ninjas don't leave, many tasks will be halted," said Danzo, attempting to reason with Hiruzen.

"Shut up! Don't forget, I am the Hokage," shouted Hiruzen.

Upon hearing Hiruzen's words, Danzo clenched his fist in anger. However, he knew he couldn't do anything. He turned around and said, "You will regret it, Hiruzen," then slammed the door of the Hokage's office and left.

At the same time, while Hiruzen and Danzo were arguing, Mitsuo also learned about Kushina being attacked. He wanted to immediately go and question the Hokage about this, but Mito stopped him. She told him that even if they asked why Kushina was attacked, Hiruzen would simply apologize and distance himself from the matter. She believed that Hiruzen was not foolish enough to attack Kushina, so she trusted the explanation given by the Chunin ninja and managed to calm Mitsuo down.

...….

Inside the Forest of Death, Kushina and her teammates moved swiftly, racing through the dense foliage. They were heading towards the direction where Kushina sensed the presence of a team carrying the Earth scroll. Before entering the forest, she had memorized the chakra signatures of the team with the Earth scroll. Unluckily, she hadn't come across any team with the Earth scroll for the past hour, but now, finally, she had found the team and was running determinedly in their direction.

Finally, with her team, Kushina encountered the other team carrying the Earth scroll. It turned out to be a team from Konoha, and as soon as they saw Kushina, they were struck with fear, having witnessed her strength. Kushina calmly looked at the Konoha ninjas and said, "Give me the Earth scroll, and I will let you all go unharmed."

The team members looked at each other in confusion, but then their expressions hardened, and they said, "If we admit defeat, how are we worthy to carry the will of Fire?" Hearing their words, Kushina shook her head and said, "They are thoroughly brainwashed. No need to hold back, take the scroll as quickly as possible. I'm feeling hungry and want to eat food made by Grandma Mito."

After receiving orders from Kushina, both Hiroshi and Sakura immediately attacked the Konoha team. Their fists were covered in flames as they unleashed their attacks. Being just Genin, the opposing team couldn't evade Sakura and Hiroshi's onslaught. They fell to the ground, clutching their chests, suffering from burns. The remaining Genin, filled with fear, trembled and stood frozen. With a disdainful tone, Sakura said, "Weakling," and used Fire Pistol. A small fireball, resembling a bullet, passed through the shoulder of the remaining Genin, causing them to scream in pain and collapse to the ground.

Hiroshi seized the opportunity to take the scroll from the Genin, but they refused to give it up, saying, "Even if I die, I'm not going to give you the scroll." Hiroshi responded, "Why bother?" and forcefully held the Genin's hand, burning it below the wrist. Overwhelmed by pain, the Genin let go of the scroll. Hiroshi picked it up and appeared next to Kushina, declaring, "Scroll obtained."

Kushina nodded and left with Sakura and Hiroshi. Just as they departed, a team of monitoring ninjas arrived and witnessed the miserable state of the defeated team. "How cruel," one of them remarked. The team captain intervened, saying, "Stop talking nonsense and help them up. Let's get them treated." The other team members nodded in agreement and left to arrange medical assistance for the defeated team.

Just as Kushina and her teammates reached the building, with Minato and his team following closely behind, they entered the central building in the Forest of Death. Kushina and Minato handed over their respective scrolls. At that moment, the monitoring ninja team brought the seriously injured team inside the building. As soon as they entered, the injured Genin caught the attention of everyone present, and the medical team rushed over to begin treating their injuries.

"Who used such excessive force in the Chunin Exams? They will need at least half a year of rest before they can resume their missions," one of the healers exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, the Genin team looked towards Kushina and her team with resentment. Observing their reaction, it became clear to everyone present what had transpired.

After observing their reaction, the kind-hearted Minato couldn't help but ask, "Why? Why did you feel the need to do this? You are clearly very powerful, and there was no necessity to go to such extreme lengths."
